Property Description

California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle is captured to great effect in this cozy, turnkey LEVEL IN SINGLE LEVEL modern farmhouse. Located in the heart of West Berkeley and positioned near the vibrant Fourth Street district, the 3-bedroom home sits behind a gated front yard while maintaining effortless flow to a private, flat yard for outdoor entertaining. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property has integrated some high-efficiency features such as a modern heat pump AC system, and dual pane windows earning a 9/10 Home Energy Score, BESO Compliance, and a $0 Section 1 clearance. The interior is anchored by the organic texture of European Oak plank floors, while contemporary touches such as new designer lighting throughout and modern black-trimmed dual-pane casement windows flood the spaces with natural light and clear sight lines. The updated chef’s kitchen achieves a balance of old and new, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, stainless steel GE appliances and an eating area with a built-in corner banquette. The bathroom features a subway tile shower surround with a charcoal hexagon tile floor for a modern pop. Two bedrooms off the living area feature frosted glass barn doors on the closets, while a flexible third bedroom offers a quiet retreat. An indoor laundry room features ample counter space, side-by-side W/D and outdoor access. Thoughtful storage is achieved through adjustable Elfa closet organizer systems throughout. The sunny backyard is a private modern oasis for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts, featuring low maintenance turf, gravel seating area, raised veggie beds, and established trees for extra privacy. With a 93 Walk Score and 94 Bike Score, it offers easy access to Rosa Parks School, local favorites like Franklin Brothers Market and Cafe Chiave, and is a short distance to North Berkeley BART.
